[Geysers] Thermal Inventory on Line

[Karen Webb]

Nope, not Bead (the one labeled as Bead actually looks
like one of the 
little pools by the road after you've passed Steady
Geyser). Bead's 
formation as viewed from above is very similar to the
picture of Pink, 
though without the pink coloration (also, the build-up
of sinter on 
either side of the vent is more pronounced). Got to
see the whole group 
from the roof of a passing RV one year thanks to some
cooperative tourists!

first season as a volunteer for Rick Hutchinson was
1988.  Many of my observations have been made in the
Lower Geyser Basin.   I have not perused the Inventory
in its entirety, but I have noticed one geyser that
was misplaced in the wrong area and some pictures that
are misidentified.  The items I have focused on are
located in the Lower Geyser Basin:

feature Crack Geyser.  Crack erupts from a north-south
trending fracture in the surrounding sinter platform.

Drape thyself...in the silken
